Perfect Derma Peel in Montreal, professional chemical peel at Institut V Esthétique
Professional-grade TCA chemical peel. Corrects acne, hyperpigmentation and melasma. Safe for every skin type.
What is the Perfect Derma Peel?
The Perfect Derma Peel is a professional-grade chemical peel that combines an exclusive blend of powerful active ingredients: trichloroacetic acid (TCA), glutathione, kojic acid, retinol, vitamin C, salicylic acid and phenol. This synergistic combination penetrates deep into the skin to stimulate cell renewal and correct multiple skin imperfections.
What sets the Perfect Derma Peel apart from other chemical peels is that it is the only peel to contain glutathione, known as the body's "master antioxidant." Glutathione neutralizes free radicals, inhibits excess melanin production and speeds up cell regeneration for results superior to any other chemical peel on the market.
Unlike many peels limited to fair skin, the Perfect Derma Peel is formulated to safely treat all skin types, including darker skin (Fitzpatrick phototypes I to VI). It is an ideal solution for melanin-rich, Black and mixed skin tones that could not benefit from traditional peels.
At Institut V Esthétique on Beaubien Est in Montreal, the Perfect Derma Peel is administered by our team of certified estheticians, led by Alexandra Vivanco, founder of the institute. Every treatment begins with a full skin assessment so the protocol is tailored to your specific needs.
Skin concerns treated by the Perfect Derma Peel

Acne scars
Softens acne scars by stimulating collagen production and cell renewal for smoother skin.
Hyperpigmentation and brown spots
Glutathione and kojic acid inhibit melanin overproduction to even out the complexion and fade dark spots.
Melasma
Effective treatment of hormonal melasma through the combined action of TCA and depigmenting agents, even on darker skin.
Sun damage
Repairs UV damage by removing damaged layers and revealing healthy skin underneath.
Fine lines and wrinkles
Retinol and TCA boost collagen synthesis to visibly reduce the signs of skin aging.
Uneven skin tone
Vitamin C and glutathione brighten the complexion and balance pigmentation for an even, natural glow.
Enlarged pores
Salicylic acid penetrates deep to unclog and tighten visibly enlarged pores.
Rough skin texture
Deep chemical exfoliation smooths skin texture by removing dead cells and surface irregularities.
The Perfect Derma Peel process in 5 steps
At Institut V Esthétique on Beaubien Est, your chemical peel journey is carefully guided from start to finish:
1. Free consultation
Your journey begins with a free consultation with our certified estheticians. We assess your skin type, identify your skin concerns and discuss your goals to determine whether the Perfect Derma Peel is the right treatment for you. Call us at (438) 900-0919 or book online.
2. Skin preparation
About 1 to 2 weeks before your treatment, we prescribe a pre-peel skincare regimen to prepare your skin. This step includes gentle cleansers and targeted serums that optimize the peel's penetration and maximize your results.
3. Peel application
On treatment day, your esthetician applies the Perfect Derma Peel in precise layers at our Beaubien location. The session lasts 30 to 45 minutes. You will feel a mild tingling or warm sensation, which is completely normal and well tolerated. The treatment is comfortable and requires no anesthesia.
4. Peeling phase (days 3 to 7)
Between day 3 and day 7 after treatment, your skin will begin to peel naturally. This is the sign that the peel is working: the damaged layers shed to reveal new skin underneath. It is crucial not to pull at the skin and to follow the post-care instructions provided by our team.
5. Results and maintenance
Once peeling is complete, your skin reveals a dramatic transformation: a smoother, brighter and visibly rejuvenated complexion. Our team will set up a personalized maintenance plan including post-peel care and, if needed, follow-up sessions for optimal results. See our results gallery to view the transformation.

Frequently asked questions about the Perfect Derma Peel
How many Perfect Derma Peel sessions do I need?
Most of our clients at Institut V Esthétique see remarkable results after the very first session. For optimal results, we generally recommend 2 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, depending on the condition treated. Severe melasma or deep scarring may require additional sessions.
Does a chemical peel hurt?
The Perfect Derma Peel is well tolerated by the vast majority of our clients. You will feel a mild tingling or warm sensation during application, which is completely normal. This sensation lasts a few minutes and fades quickly. No anesthesia is needed. Our estheticians at Institut V Esthétique on Beaubien support you throughout the treatment to keep you comfortable.
How long does the peeling phase last?
Peeling (flaking) usually begins on day 3 after treatment and lasts about 4 to 7 days. The intensity varies from person to person: some clients experience light flaking, while others have more visible peeling. It is a natural process and a sign the peel is working. We provide a complete post-care kit to manage this phase comfortably.
Is the Perfect Derma Peel suitable for darker skin?
Absolutely. This is one of the great advantages of the Perfect Derma Peel. Thanks to glutathione and its specific formulation, this peel is safe for all Fitzpatrick phototypes (I to VI), including dark, Black and mixed skin tones. Glutathione naturally regulates melanin production, reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation often associated with traditional peels on darker skin.
How much does the Perfect Derma Peel cost?
The Perfect Derma Peel is offered at $275 per session at Institut V Esthétique on Beaubien Est. We also offer value packages for treatment series. Call us at (438) 900-0919 or book a free consultation for a personalized plan.
Can the peel be combined with other treatments?
Yes, the Perfect Derma Peel combines very well with other treatments offered at Institut V Esthétique. After the healing period, a HydraFacial treatment can optimize hydration and extend your results. Laser hair removal can also be scheduled in alternation. Our team will build an integrated care plan to maximize your results.
What post-peel care is recommended?
After your Perfect Derma Peel, it is essential to follow the post-care protocol:
- Avoid sun exposure and apply SPF 50+ sunscreen daily
- Moisturize frequently with the products recommended by your esthetician
- Do not pull at peeling skin; let the process happen naturally
- Avoid makeup for the first 24 to 48 hours
- Do not use retinol or exfoliants for 2 weeks after treatment
Our team will give you a detailed guide at your visit. For more information, see our general FAQ page.
Are there any contraindications to the Perfect Derma Peel?
The Perfect Derma Peel is contraindicated in the following cases: pregnancy or breastfeeding, active skin infections (herpes, impetigo), recent use of isotretinoin (Accutane) within the last 6 months, open wounds in the treatment area, or a known allergy to one of the ingredients. This is why a prior free consultation is essential to assess your eligibility safely.
When can I return to my normal activities after the peel?
You can resume your daily activities immediately after treatment. However, during the peeling phase (days 3 to 7), your skin will be visibly flaking. Many of our clients at Institut V Esthétique schedule their chemical peel early in the week so the peeling is done by the weekend. Avoid intense exercise, saunas and pools for 7 days.
What is the difference between the Perfect Derma Peel and a superficial peel?
A superficial peel (glycolic, mandelic) acts only on the top layer of the epidermis and produces subtle results requiring several sessions. The Perfect Derma Peel is a medium-to-deep peel that reaches the dermis, delivering noticeably more visible results from the first session. Its exclusive glutathione formula also makes it safer for darker skin than traditional deep peels.
